Initial Set Up

WARNING! This equipment is to be used for motor oil and transmission fluid only! Any other use may cause damage, fire, explosion or death. 

 

  1. Install suction hose and discharge hose assemblies.

  2. Plug unit into a 115V GFI protected outlet.

  3. Insert wand into oil (8 quarts) which will be used to prime the unit.

  4. Move the toggle switch to the suction position.

  5. After a 15 second start delay, the pump will start and the vacuum gauge will indicate fluid being pumped into the holding tank. 

  6. When 8 quarts have been sucked into the unit, move the mode switch to the OFF position. (Disregard the totalizer reading at this point). 

  7. Place discharge hose into suitable container to accept used oil. (Oil will discharge with considerable pressure. Be sure discharge hose is secure).

  8. Move the mode selection switch to DISCHARGE. After a 15-second delay, the oil will begin emptying from the unit and automatically stop when finished. When finished, move the mode switch to the OFF position. 

  9. Your unit is now properly set up and ready to begin evacuating engine oil and will accurately measure fluid removed. 

 

Operating The Equipment

Three things determine the speed of the oil evacuation using the EVAC 7000.

  1. Temperature of the oil

  2. Size of the wand

  3. Length of the wand

Oil thins out dramatically at high temperature. The average oil temperature of a late model car is 160-190 degrees F. The higher the oil temperature, the faster the evacuation time. Obviously a wide, short wand will evacuate faster than a thin, long wand.

To insure complete oil evacuation, we recommend the following procedures: Check your reference book (Gousha Quick Lube Guide) for engine oil capacities and recommended oil weights.
